TOP SHELF

A memorable night in NYC as @TheTimMcGraw (Team Sony) & presidential historian @JonMeacham kicked off their #SongsOfAmericaTour at the @BeaconTheatre. This is a show unlike anything you’ve ever seen. The perfect fusion of comedy, information, music & history. It is entertaining and authentic. If I were Netflix or HBO, I’d make this into a special. Tim and Jon are able to illustrate the power of telling a story with the backdrop of music creating an incredibly rich and compelling experience that explores the story of our country in a unique and innovative way. As a #CountryMusic and #TimMcGraw fan – this is a side of Tim you’ve never seen – as he pointed out – he doesn’t usually talk this much during his shows. Just a thoroughly enjoyable and enriching experience from this unlikely #OddCouple. Watch highlights right now on @MorningHangover #InstaStory

HOUSE PLAYLIST

Check out one of my fav new songs – @CaleDodds (Team Warner) #ILikeWhereThisIsGoing – Cale is an artist that is one song away from breaking through and I think this is the one that #CountryRadio needs to get behind.

@ThomasRhett (Team Big Machine) brought #CenterPointRoad to the Bridgestone Arena this past weekend where more than 7,000 fans were treated to an up-close-and-personal set in the round from the singer/songwriter revealing stories behind the new music, while also delivering the smash hits and fan-favorites that shaped him into the artist he is today. The sold-out special event was rounded out with a $100,000 donation to music education through the CMA Foundation. #CenterPointRoad is the biggest streaming debut week ever for a country album garnering more than 33 million on-demand audio streams

BUZZIN

NEAT

Prior to performing at the #HGT Lodge at #CMAFest @ScottyMcCreery (Team Triple Tigers) met members of the iconic cast of the #BradyBunch

MIXED DRINKS

One of the most buzzed-about moments of #CMAFest – @LilNasX + @BillyRayCyrus (Team BMG) joining @KeithUrban (Team Universal) for #OldTownRoad – if this is good enough for #CMAFest – then it’s good enough to be on the #CountryRadio charts!

WITH A TWIST

@CarrieUnderwood (Team Universal) closed out night two of #CMAFest with an epic special guest, @JoanJett, performing a medley of Joan Jett’s hit songs
